Great value if you love the M680x0 series processors
For Rosco-m68k Revision 1.23
I had been thinking for years of designing and building another 680x0 platform system since I had to get rid of my Amigas, Atari St and Compupro systems years ago. Rosco beat me to it and did a great job. Assembly is straightforward, and the provided software is enough to bootstrap any competent programmer's projects (mine is for a retro CPM-68k system). Required tools - soldering iron with small tip and heat control, needle nose pliers, wire cutters and a VOM minimally. Nice additions: Oscilloscope and/or logic analyzer (16 channel recommended), good ones can be acquired for under $200 each on Amazon. Knowledge of assembler and/or C programming is required to move beyond the excellent base code that is provided, though at the rate they are improving the product, other options may soon be available. Documentation is good, but more regarding details (power requirements, troubleshooting, assembly options) would be an improvement. However, that said the discord community is strong and supportive and Rosco and company do a great job in assisting with any problem that occurs. Fabulous support. And they listen. Very good job! The only major issue is not under their control: shipping. If you are outside the U.K. expect to possibly have issues with the GALs and possibly the ROMS. Reason: The brits are very good about scanning packages for unpleasant things and those devices, which spew a lot of high energy radiation, tend to wipe the GALs and perhaps the ROMs too. So it would be recommended to pull the GITHUB repository for the project and verify the coding of those components before turning on the switch. I found out the hard way. But I highly recommend the kit and the vendor.
